GOD WILL JUDGE THROUGH JESUS

GOD WILL JUDGE THROUGH JESUS

Passage: Romans 2:6~16   

Keyverse: 16

1. God does not show favoritism (6-11)

God created men to seek God first and glorify him. Therefore, his judgment will be according to what they have done, their purpose and motivation; God will give honor, glory, peace and eternal life to those who persistently seek God first and his glory. But to those who are self-seeking, rejecting God and following evil, there will be wrath, anger, trouble, distress, and eternal judgment.

2. Judgment through Jesus Christ (12-16)

God will judge by Jesus as the standard. For there is no one righteous not even one (Rom 3:10). All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Rom3:23) The Jews who had God's living word were condemned because they couldn't and didn't obey the law. The Gentiles were condemned though they had no law to break. For God gave them a conscience that shows God's requirement in their heart. So by law or by conscience all had sinned and all are condemned before God. Therefore, God will judge people through Jesus Christ, the gift of God; whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. But whoever does not believe in Jesus, will be condemned.

Prayer: Lord, we all are condemned either by law or by conscience. Praise God who saves all-Jews and Gentiles by faith in Jesus' death and resurrection.

One Word: Now, through Jesus, can we only be saved!
